Stranger's Wrath was on Groupee's Be Mine 5, how did I miss that one?

Ah man, Stranger's Wrath.
Very fun game, I love the first person and third person idea, very cool.

Although one problem I have with it is that achievements are really bugged.
There's an achievement for bounty-ing 250 outlaws without killing them and it's a really rare achievement because every time you close the game, it'll forget how many enemies you've bountied so you could be at 249/250 bounties, but then if you close the game and restart you'll be at 0/250 bounties, pretty annoying.

Same thing goes with difficulty settings, if you play through the entire game on hard, but if you turn the game off at any point it'll forget you're playing on hard so you won't be able to get the achievement for finishing the game on hard and you'll only get easy.

Thankfully there are ways to make the achievements unlock anyway, with the bounties bit you can just quicksave and quickload the first ever bounty you do and suck him up 250 times(should take about 30 minutes or so) and you can unlock it that way.

And for the hard difficulty achievement you can quicksave at the final boss on hard, and then start a new game on hard and during your new game quickload to the final boss save and beat the final boss, that'll make sure the game recognizes you're playing on hard and give you the achievement.

See the vid for Zombies on a plane. Looks fun.

I did look at it. Seems like an ios port of the same concept of that zombies that try to attack a car while you try to survive as long as possible. Didn't interest me.

Thank you Grief for Epigenesis!

App hasn't been touched in a month, same with Dark Souls for that matter.

Dammit. Glad I didn't wait for the patch before jumping back in. Finally decided to spend some time getting my equipment upgrated. Holy Shit does that make a difference.

 

[FloatOn]

Not that I'm not grateful but shit man I just realized that I'm kind of angry over getting Castlevania Mirror of Fate ported instead of Harmony of Despair.

I remember having a good time with that back when I had a 360. I wouldn't even mind it having all the DLC separated to hell and back like it was on 360.

Shot in the dark here, but does anyone happen to have an extra Be Mine 5 bundle?

Nice to see there are workaround, will keep those in mind when I'm playing through myself.

I assume that same goes for these other collection based achievements.

Konami is just getting started. In the past ~year they have already funded the ports of 5 games onto Steam and they are starting to release new games day one.

I'm very excited going forward.

Yea I'm pretty bummed about it, I keep checking now and then if something has changed for Dark Souls but nothing yet

It can be cheesed pretty easily by capturing the same person 250 times while reloading a save.

Yeah, the other collection based ones are basically the same except for having 20,000 moolah before doc mongo's retreat isn't glitched, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Some of my rarest achievements have come from Stranger's Wrath HD because of those bugged achievements, so that's cool.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to explain here.

Sorry if I worded it poorly.

 

[PixyJunket]

Bob Came in Pieces is unclaimed, I guess at this point it's just a +1 for somebody?

[Kinky John]

here...

Open the console and type BeginBTV. You'll get the achievement when you restart the game.

I tried to do it naturally, but I could only get the game to single digits. It refused to crash on me.

Thanks!

 

[faceless007]

Blacksouls sure looks interesting, but eek, those reviews.

Took it out of pity, thanks.

It went from unclaimed to 11 entrants, haha.

 

[morningbus]

Are we going to do another unclaimed Modbot giveaway any time soon? Or are there not that many orphaned codes?

 

[aku:jiki]

I thought so too, but reading the reviews make it sound like a bad Defense Grid clone.

How can something be a Defense Grid, though? DG is a very good TD game but it doesn't really do anything unique to clone.

And Defense Technica isn't bad, it's just kind of annoyingly hard and picky with where you place towers. Not a lot of room to improvise in the levels I played.

 

[Self_Destructive]

Some extras for you guys.

Thanks so much for A New Beginning Grief!

 

[Grief.exe]

It can be cheesed pretty easily by capturing the same person 250 times while reloading a save.

Does the same trick work with the other collection-based achievements?

Reload 24 times when you collect an Orange Crystal, reload 9 times when you destroy a Hidden Barrel, etc?

Thanks so much for A New Beginning Grief!

Thank you Grief for Epigenesis!

Thanks for Beatblasters!

It works now.

Thank you for A-TRAIN Grief.exe.

No problem guys, enjoy.

 

[Cth]

Weird, could have swore I tried for it originally

 

[ThaiGrocer]

Nice. I'm still waiting on the one you get if the game crashes. :-/

The game is surprisingly robust. I haven't crashed even once, except with the command.

 

[Stumpokapow]

So, dirty little ModBot secret: The number of entrants includes the number of people who asked for the game but who didn't meet the rules. I'm guessing a few failed the rule saying they had to give away a game, and a few failed the no wins in the last day. And a few probably failed the lurker requirement.

When you send a claim request, ModBot does stuff in this order:
- Receive claim request
- Check out if something about the claim is bogus (claiming multiple games in one PM, previous entry for the same giveaway with no free-for-all, claiming a key that doesn't exist) but otherwise don't process any rules for the giveaway itself.
- Add the claim to a claim pile to be processed later.

And then on the processing side, it goes:
- Do I have any claims to process?
- If it's not a raffle, process claims for a given game in chronological order, first valid claimant gets it.
- If it is a raffle, and the time has passed, draw a random entry until you get one that passes the rule requirements.

The reasoning behind it is that the rules shouldn't apply until the final draw, because if it's a raffle, someone might enter the raffle while not being valid, but become valid before the raffle is over (or vice versa; if someone wins in the mean time, it might disqualify them for something they were qualified for when they entered)

With stuff with heavy rules, this might result in a bunch of people entering, no one winning, and then when someone valid enters it going from "0" to "a bunch".

All the collectible achievements in the game let you do that.

I failed two requirements lol. I didn't even notice it until after I entered, I think I've done that a few times now whoops. I need to learn to read.

Today starts the fall of Modbot's reign.

Nice city

Anno 2070 does indeed look glorious, but then again, so does Anno 1404. And speaking of the latter... any further news about its return to Steam?

Thanks !

Researchers are currently being a pain because of their need for energy drinks during research .

Guys are gulping that Red Bull stuff down like it is water .

Is no one else irked that an Early Access title gets DLC. DLC should be made after a game has been completed. These features should be a part of the game, not sold separately.

This is some fucked up shit, and is setting a bad precedent.

Oh that's another pet peeve of mine -- games that have in-game achievements, but no corresponding Steam achievements. I find it hard to believe that there are technical barriers that prevent it.

Jump on a trampoline, there's one by the spawn point. Right click and hold S.

 

[user237]

Since many people are getting Ravensword: Shadowlands in the bundle, I'd like to ask if everyone shares my negative reaction to it? I wanted to give the game a chance but it just seemed so shallow.

Don't Starve was released from Early Access, I believe. So it really isn't considered 'Early Access' anymore.

You are assuming people play they games they get from ModBot. Gotta get that +1

Go into the gravity factory.... wait until you are slowly raising up in the ventilator room and press rmb and w until you are nearly on the ground... if you are nearly on the ground press jump until you get a "perfect jump". Get your 10000000 points in a few seconds and your 10 flips in one jump.

Okay, I will stop trying to jump from some hills. Thanks.

I have not tried holding B. Just pressing the ragdoll button while in the air. I am going to try this as well. Thanks.
